![]() This data is lying there for years till it’s untouched, that’s how we can recover them until some other data gets overwritten on those data blocks.Ī lot can go wrong in this digital world when our precious data goes to felonious hands. ![]() Data stored on data blocks are still there as it is but not connected to the operating system, so we can’t access it normally but data recovery tools can. When we delete data from a storage device only their link/path to actual data blocks get deleted. Now, just imagine you resell or give away any of your storage devices to someone after deleting the data only, but still that someone can recover and access it.

There are some continuing issues with Eraser 6, but these are being dealt with, and the program is under active development I know of no reason why, with the information available here and in Eraser Help, you should not be able to use it successfully. I would not recommend Eraser 5.xx on Windows 7, not least because it is no longer formally supported, and here we are now much better equipped to deal with queries about Eraser 6. on my Windows 7 圆4 machine quite happily for some months, and am now using a development build for beta testing on that machine.

Can I use ERASER 5.XX for Windows 7? I read some users' comments on CNET and I am a little concerned with ERASER version because it seems that many users are having problems with ver.
